Acupressure to Relieve Depression, Anxiety, Fatigue & Stress

Acupressure can provide relief instantly for anxiety or stress when one is at home or in office or stuck in heavy traffic. We will discuss about certain points that one can massage to reduce their stress, tension and anxiety. If one massages these points, they would get faster relief.

One need not massage all the points. Simply pressing one or two important points when they are free can be very effective.

Here are certain acupuncture points that one can use and ideas to identify such points in their body. They need not use all the points every time they have symptoms. However, they can experiment with these points and determine which ever work better for them.

You have to measure three fingers beginning from your wrist. The point where the third finger touches the midpoint of your wrist is the acupuncture point.

1.Using the thumb, apply steady pressure to this point until there is a mild discomfort. Pressure should be applied just enough to disturb the normal flow of blood but at the same time it shouldn't cause pain.

2.Hold at this point and knead gently with your thumb in a circular motion. Continue this tight motion for around 2 minutes.

This should be done to both your wrists and definitely you will feel your anxiety decrease instantly. This acupressure point is also good for nausea.

Ears

Using your forefinger and thumb, massage your ears gently. On your ears, there are no specific pressure points and you can do this to relax yourself.

Today I’d like to start a fresh by posting one of my favorites. Mandazi with Chai! Mandazi (also known as Maandazi or Ndao and sometimes called Mahamri or Mamri) are East African donuts. You can find these delicious donuts in large urban areas and also among the Swahili people of East Africa. Most small restaurants, called hotelis in Kenya, serve mandazi. You can also find mandazi being sold by street vendors.

It is a dish that can be served as a breakfast with tea, appetizer before lunch, or even a soft late night dinner to entertain your groaning stomach before going to bed.
